Bette saw Tina visibly relax at her father’s words.
"I wanted to let you know that you didn’t really displace me from my room because of your visit," Tina tried the round about way in her efforts to explain that she and Bette always shared the bedroom they were in.
Her father looked at her quizzically.
Her mother simply sat there and took in her words without offering any in return.
Tina continued.
"Bette and I always share the master bedroom, and you have the spare bedroom for use whenever you wish to visit us in our home," Tina concluded, with a confidence that belied her anxiety.
"So," Anne paused before continuing. "You and Bette are a couple?"
Tina reached and placed her hand on top of Bette’s.
"Yes, we’ve been together for almost 10 months," Tina replied.
Anne looked at Tom and then returned her eyes to Tina’s.
"Well thank the Good Lord for that news," she finally said. "We thought you were going to tell us you were dating Nicole again."
"What?" Tina replied, incredulous at her parents’ assumption that she had ever dated Nicole.
"Well, certainly," Anne said in a matter of fact tone. "You could never miss the looks you two exchanged every time our families got together. The most obvious was that Christmas Nicole came home from her first semester at College. You looked like a lost puppy every time she walked into a room."
"Mom, Nicole and I never dated," Tina said, unable to hide the shock in her voice. "Bette’s the first woman I’ve ever dated."
It was Anne’s turn to be shocked.
"Tina, honey – really? Your father and I thought John was just a cover for you and Nicole."
"Yes, Mom, really," Tina replied, startled at the turn of events. "What made you think Nicole and I were together?"
"Well, honey you did play varsity softball together," Anne said.
"That doesn’t mean I was gay!" Tina replied, exasperated.
"Tina, that’s not a very convincing argument given the topic of conversation tonight," Bette leaned over and spoke quietly to her.
"We always watched Charlie’s Angels re-runs together," piped up Tina’s dad. "Your mom never had any interest in that. She thought it was sexist or something."

Swimmie, that was a wonderful ending to a great story.Thanks for sharing and looking forward to another wonderful story from you. Have a great weekend.
Just wonderful. More, please
Lovely. Simply lovely I have no ha either words.
Absolutely loved the story!! Thank you so much!!
Oh yeah 😉👍
Okay that a refreshing change. Not all coming out stories are rife with sturm und drang. To many parents credit, more of than not they already “know” before their kid tells them (mine sure did). BTW, loved your A-list of “you know you’re a lesbian when…” but you left out PE and the gym teacher Swimmie ;0) Any way, thanks for sharing this well written series! Looking forward to whatever else you have in store :0)
That was funny and awesome, love it. Happy for them, thanks for sharing this story with us!
That was great!
Why did they have to know before I did?” Tina asked – lol – thanks again
What a wonderful turnabout coming out story! In all of fanficdom, I’ve never seen more savvy parents. They truly know and love their daughter for who she is. Tina was blessed with perfect parents!(and a very good author) Thank you!
What’s better than freedom to be oneself? What a nice story. Thanks.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all parents were so accepting of their children’s sexual orientation. Great story JKS! I’m looking forward, as always, to more of your talented tales. Thanks!
At some point I just couldn’t read fast enough! “..blessed to be accepted..” A blessing indeed!
I watched Charlie’s Angles. I took shop & home ec. I don’t like dresses. I especially don’t like pantyhose. OMG! I am soo gay!
